Thanks so much to Lydia 🙂 It means a lot that Benny looked forward to our time together. He even wrote me this card, with two of his favourite games from our sessions on the front: Spelling Stepping Stones (on the left) and Spelling Basketball (on the right). I love it!
Unbelievably, it's now 15 years since I walked onto the stage at the Brighton Dome with a serious case of jelly-legs, ready to graduate with my English Literature & Education degree.
Torin, from Hurstpierpoint, was amazed to hear that his funny short story had been chosen for publication in a book. He loved playing around with language and creating characters like Count Spatula and a sausage dog made of sausages!
It's such a joy to tutor Claire's son, Charlie, and watch him grow into the confident Year 6 he is today! 😊
Louie, from Storrington, really rose to the challenge this week. He had a clever idea: what if he tried a trickier form of poem and aimed to win a national poetry competition?
"Ryan! Ryan!" came the call as I was walking down the garden path.
"I've made you this while your car is getting fixed!"
Thanks for sharing your lovely words, Nadia. It's a real pleasure to see Benny coming on in leaps and bounds with his spelling and reading!
Fred, from Hurstpierpoint, has a real talent for writing stories. In fact, his work is so strong, I often have to think of extra creative ways to challenge him!
Freddie, from Shoreham, has come on in leaps and bounds in our three years together. He was just a little Year 4 back then, and now he's feeling super confident about starting secondary school!
